This was followed up by: "If you actually read what Ron Paul is saying, you will discover that for the first time in your life a politician is not lying to you."

Similar tweets appeared on Rise Against's account. But both acts were quick to pull the messages of support down and set the record straight.

Rise Against hit back on their account Twitter.com/riseagainst tweeting: "We were hacked. As you would all assume, we DO NOT support Ron Paul," while No Doubt' wrote: "Our Twitter account was hacked last night. No political endorsements at this time. Love, No Doubt."

Former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger also found her account defaced by the same group of Ron Paul supporters.
